Dumb question

Wednesday is going to be my first day staying over with D. He's leaving work a little early and I'll get to his house about the same time he does, so we'll have the evening / night together, and then he's leaving me a key (apparently I seem uber trustworthy?) and I can leave whenever on Thursday after he leaves for work.

So...the question is about what I should bring. I don't want to show up with a suitcase, or even really an overnight bag if I can help it (don't want to seem to high-maintenance). What did anyone here take their first night staying at his place?

Re: Dumb question

  • I'd bring a bag.  You don't want to look like a walk of shame the next day.  It's perfectly acceptable to bring a chance of clothes, toothbrush, makeup, etc.  I wouldn't go packing up half of your bathroom though.  I have a Longchamp bag that I use for these kinds of overnights, nothing too big.

  • Why don't you want to show up with a suitcase or bag?  I'm confused.

  • If you've planned to stay over at his place, I see nothing wrong with bringing an overnight bag. As PP said, I wouldn't bring your whole bathroom, but the regular essentials is fine. What are you doing the next day? Could you wear jeans over to his house and then just bring a different shirt to wear the next day?
  • Since this is a planned event, I think it would be very appropriate to come with an overnight bag. 

    I think it is important that you have what you need so you can be comfortable.  If you are sacrificing your comfort out of fear how you would appear to D, then I would question why you feel that way with D.

     

  • I think it's fine to bring a bag. Usually I haven't had the luxury of an overnight being planned. Ha! But I this is a planned thing it's totally acceptable.

    This exactly. Bring what you need and screw what he thinks and honestly he probably won't even think a thing about it.

  • Fair enough, ladies. Overnight bag it is. Smile

  • When I stayed over at my ex's place I'd bring a second larger purse with my makeup essentials and a change of clothes.
  • Bring a bag and have a blast!

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
